Clint on Trump

Eastwood: Maybe. But he's onto something, because secretly everybody's getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That's the kiss-ass generation we're in right now. We're really in a pussy generation. Everybody's walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist. And then when I did Gran Torino, even my associate said, "This is a really good script, but it's politically incorrect." And I said, "Good. Let me read it tonight." The next morning, I came in and I threw it on his desk and I said, "We're starting this immediately."

Good interview and common sense advice. Clint has always been a classic cowboy actor, but he has played a number of other role-types as well. I was always partial to "Where Eagles Dare." My 17 year old daughter likes "Kelly's Heroes." - Elric
